The committeeman referred to, as an evi
dence that the rank and file ot the

Labor assemblies connected with District
Assembly No 66 bad Indorsed their ex
cursion, and had purchased tickets for it
In large numbers.
At all events, however, the excursion for
Hie benefit of the unemployed printers will
be run to River View on Auguht 30, and a

OGiUPIIES OF CLERKS
The Latest Wrinkle Evolved at
the Treasury Department.
PARTICULARS ABOUT THEM
It Is Suspected That the Scheme In
Intended to Dihclose Jnst "What
"Pull" Each Employe Ha-., Though
This Is Strenuously Denied by
the Officials.
Every employe of ihe Treasury Depart
ment is to be put ou record, and this
record is to he just where the Secretary
ot the Treasury may put his fiugor ou it
at the right time-
A biographical sketol. of every employe
is to b- prepared uud Indexed so that ic
will be readily accessible. Of course, there
lb a- partial history of each apiiohuef on
file at the department, but this personal
history is hcattered through the papers
pertaining to the appointment of tliat
employ, and i t sometimes requires a con
siderable :ciircU o rind out just how
ich and. such employe came to be ap
pointed. A day or two ago Assistant Secretary
Vanderllp selected a committee to de
vise ways aud means pf carrying this
biographical plan into execution. Thb
gentlemen so chosen are Auditor Andrews,
Assistant Appointment Clerk Rose and
Mr DeLand, secretary to the committee
on personnel. This committee has held
several uformal meetings, but the plan
is still in n formative state.
A blank containing all the questions to
which answers are desired will be sent,
to each employe ot the department. These
blanks will be filled out and returned
to the committee. They will then be
indexed and filed away for reference
when needed. It is not the deMgn ot
ihe officials ot the department that the
infor-nntlou so gathered shall be printed
or published, as it was said yesterday that
publicitj might defeat the purpose of
the plan.
It i denied that there is any other sig
nificance In the movement than the'Trea-s-
ury officials wish to know as much as pos
sible about the people in the service of the
department, and that this desire Is legiti
mate and business-like. It was denied
that tile -plan is simply to discover the
lufluence usi-d by the clerks to secure their
preferment that the department may weed
out clerks who were appointed through
"influence" which the department, has
blacklisted. There are some people at the
Treasury who profess to believe that this
Is the realTeabon why the officials-wish to
find out w much of the employes, but they
seem to have no other foundation for this
belief than their suspicion.
The blanks wlilch the employes will
have to fill in will show how they ob
tained their positions, how they got into
the classified service, and will show the
story of their promotion, reduction, etc
The exact fiuesllons to Le answered have,
not been as yet agreed on, but probably
will be within u fe"w days. The blanks
will be piinted immediately after that
question is decided, and will then be dis
tributed throughout the serice.
There are nearly 20,000 people employed
In tne Traiury Department. First, there
is the departmental service, which includes
nil tlie otnees and bureaus in Washington,
the marine hospital service, lighthouse and
life-paving servicesi mints and assay of
fices, vorLmeii employed on public build
ings, sul'treasuries, etc. The number of
employes within the classified services iu
this great department of the Treasury U
1 1,56-1. Then there Is the customs service,
including all people employed iu custom
houses, at ports of entry, subports, itc.
There are 1,411 people thm? employed. The
third depaitment of the Treasury is the
internal revenue service, in -which 3.1G8
persoub are employed.
The biographies of all these people will
te directly under the eye of the Secretary
of the Treasury.
SCHLATTER NOT SO DIVINE.
The "HcmiIci" Conducts Himself In
a Very Unseemly "Maimer.
Canton, Ohio, Aug. 20. "Healer" Schlat
ter looked a trifle "peeked" this morning
when he mounted his"thtone" and begau
his "laying nn of hands" and "blessing."
He only "healed" for about ten minutes and
then withdrew to hisboardlng-house. Last
night Schlatter went the rounds of IocU
saloons and only let tip when lie was re
fused any more liquor. He is not Inclined
to talk to leporters today.
Mrs. Ferris is here. She will not say
whether or not In a telegram from Pitts
burg she referred to Schlatter as a "freak"
and said that he had gone back to Canton
and would"give her a rest." SLe is, how
ever, emphatlcm her denial that she Is Mrs.
Schlatter.
A traveling man from Rochester, well
kuown heic, rut who, for business reasons,
does not want his name used in this con
nection, says he was on the train from
Beavci Falls, Pa., to Alliance last night
Ke readied Canton today. He says Schlat
ter was on a "mashing tour" on the train.
The"healer" became so offensive to women
that one gfrl was forced to tears. Trainmen
interfered and Schlatter was pushed to his
seat with a command backed by strong
words to remain there and be quiet. The
traveling man declares that it was the
general I mpreson ou the tralu that Schlat
ter was drunk then.
"BOXTAY HEARD EROif.
Suspected of "Murder, He Makes
Known His "Whereabouts.
Ansonia, Conn , Aug. 20. The Evening
Seatinet rcelved a letter from Charles
A. Bonlay, the man suspectd ot the mur
der of Marcus G. Nichols In Daniels Farms
last month.
It is dated from Hudson, N .X., August
1-4, nnd bears the postmark August 19.
He says that he has seen statements in
the Sentinel that shortly after the robbery
of Beach Nicnols, near Bridgeport, in
May, he had made Miss Weeks, now Mrs.
Boniay, presents ot a valuable gold watch,
dresses, shoes, etc. He says he did give
her a watch, but he earned the money
peddling notions, and that she earned
her own wedding dress by working In
Shelton. He says Mrs. Bonlay is a true
Christian woman, and it Is too bad she
did not get a better man who was
worthy of a noble woman's love, Instead
of 'a wretch like me " He says he is a
fugitive from Justice and cannot come
back to contradict there statements, and
asks the Sentinel to do it for him
In a postscript he tells how he can be
communicated with. Chief ot Tollce
Tomlinson, ot Shelton, alio received a
letter toduy postmarked like the Sentinel's
letter. On comparison of the signatures
r with that of Boniay on his marriage
certificate, they aro found to bo In
the same hand.

A million of suffering- women cry with
uplifted hands for some relief from the
pains and tortures of diseases peculiar to
their sex. A million more suffer in silence
rather than subject themselves to the ab
horrent and humiliating examinations and
local treatment so uniformly insisted upon
by physicians.
The saddest thought of all is that aU
this agony of body and mind is absolutely
unnecessary.
"Female weakness" can be cured sure
ly, speedily, without exposure, with slight
expense without leaving your own home.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will cure
any disorder or disease of the organs dis
tinctly feminine. No matter how hopeless
you think your case mo matter how many
doctors have told you that you were in
curable no matter what you mave done or
left undone, the "Favorite Prescription"
will cure you. Perbops its greatest use
fulness is in preparingwomen for the ordeal
of child-birth. Taken during the expectant
period it practically eliminates pain and
danger at the' time of parturition.
Miss Lauretta McNees, of Reno (P. O. Box 723),
Washoe Co., Ner., -writes : "IJtave discontinued
taking the ' Prescription ' and will not take
any more (at present). Last month I had no
pain at all and worked every day without any
inconvenience whatever. It was the first time
T never had pain during that period. 1 cannot
ay too much for your medicines, especially
the 'Favorite Prescription' and 'Pleasant Pel
lets.' I know of a lady in the family way who
took one bottle of your ' Favorite Prescription '
,and she says she was not sick like she T7as with
her first baby. This was her second baby. She
thinksitagrandmedicine. So do I." .
For constipation, the true, scientific cure is
Dr. Pierce's Pellets. Mild, harmless, yet sure.
No other pill can compare with them-
BOND MYSTERY MAD CLEAR
Counterfeit Securities Belonged to
Mr. O'Reilly, of Louisville.
Were Fonud by Him Among: Some
Old 1'ujiers and "Were Thought
to He Genuine.
The Treasury Department has thrown a
great deal of secrecy about the recent
presentation for redemption of two
counterfeit $1,000 bonds of the 7-30 Is
sue of tho Government of June 15, 1805,
and has refused absolutely to give the
name of the person from whom the notes
came. The secret is a tecret no longer,
for a well-known business man ot Louis
ville yesterday wulked Into the office el"
one of the newspapers there aud "sur
rendered' himself. He is Mr. P. M.
O'Reilly, or the real estate firm ot P. M.
O'Reilly & Co., of that city. Mr. O'Reilly
says that he found the two notes, aud
by way of explanation added:
"My father left a. lot of old papers when
lie died, which were put lu the attic of rny
house. One of my children was playing iu
this attic the other day and discovered the
supposed securities. I examined them aud
took them to a broker, who told me they
were genuine, and that he had handled a
number like them. He advised me to send
them to tho Treasury for redemption. I
see by the accounts In the papers that they
are not genuine, and I suppose I will get
nothing. I imagino I will receive an of
ficial communication to that effect from
Watdangton."
That la all there is to the story about
which there has lwen so much mystery.

Blossoms in All Its Bounty After

CENTURY PLANT AT WHITE HOUSE.
itors at the Executive Mansion would nev
er have given It a tecond glance. But it Is
the unexpected that always happia and
now the modest, unassuming, bulfcr ook
Ing mass Is the chief point of attraction.
"Agave" the learned call it, but it is
better known as the century plant.
Fifteen clusters of yellowish green bios
sorns grace the oace unadorned stem aud
the odor which permeates the atmosphere
is sweet and delicate enough to have been
wafted from the gardens of Hesperides.
Bunches of buds are ready to burst into
bloom nnd It is thought that before the
plant has finished there will have been as
many as twenty-five blossoms.
Since the plant showed signs of awaking
and airaylng itself in all its glory, the
President nnd his wife, knowing the rarity
of it, have watched it with interest, so
now that the buds have culminated iu
glorious bloom, the gardener has plucked a
number of the flowers, packed them care
fully. an-J they are ere now speeding on
their way to the Chief Magistrate and
his wife.
For" sixty years the plant has been at
the White House, hut tills Is the first
time that it has ever blossomed. A pe
cul'ar feature is that, after It attains
the perfect bloom, it dies. The plant is
a native of Central America.

Tonruauient and Dress Ball.
There are going to be high old times
at Marshall Hail next Wednesday. It is
the event of the thirteenth annual tourna
men and dress ball. It will bo a regular
old-fashioned "tourney," when the orators
will hold forth, and the grounds will bo
filled with kniglitB, heralds and judges.
Everyone who has seen a tournament
knows there is more amusement attached
to It than to most anything In the way
of country funmaking, and all the plaus
have been made that this may eclipse
the events of previous years. The tilting
begins promptly at noon. The music will
be furnished by Schroeder's Band. At
night there will be a gorgeous display
of fireworks and, the dress ball. Of
course, no one who has seen these tourna
ments in former years will miss this one,
and those who have never seen one cer
tainly will not have tho opportunity to
witness anything better. The trips will
be made on thei Macalester and River
Queen. Steamers will leave the wharf at
